Subject: Halo: Reach, and why I enjoyed it over Halo 3...

Heretic? Me? Never! You must be thinking of Elite-blam!-FTW.

Weapon variety/Sound k whatever.

Flow more smoothly. When you play complete tryhards this untrue. Maps like Swordbase turn into campfests and AL/Invis screw it up pretty bad too. However when playing people that don't know what they are doing it isn't that bad.

Sprint and evade are the only two starting armor abilities that are OK, I'm not saying that they are great but ok. Many times they are used for the sole purpose of running away from a firefight though they are still pretty annoying. Jetpack ruins map control though so I can't stand it. You work to get control of the top of the map and then the guy just spawns and jetpacks right up.

Whatever it is it doesn't change the fact that most vehicles are pretty useless now.


Vehicles, useless?

You haven't used a Revenant or Banshee much have you?

Also, thanks for giving legitimate reasons. I hate people who tell me that I suck and then tell me to shutup. *wink wink*

Most vehicles, revenant is ok but it destroys when someone is using the sniper glitch in the passenger seat. Also yeah, the banshee is pretty insane.

I was thinking more along the lines of the ghost or warthog when compared to how much more useful they were in previous games.

Halo 3 did have better warthogs, I'll give it that.

i think they should just add the pelican to multi-player or forge for player use in reach.

What would this achieve exactly? I don't think I understand you.

What's hot, sexy and purple?

Ayane (and the Wraith :-D)

Bloom, gives gives a more organic feel to the game. Spartans aren't droids you know.

Yeah, so organic. It's a SPARTAN, a freakin' super soldier of the future using a gun with the technology from 2000 or something. No matter if he/she is a Spartan II or III, it's a damn super soldier. So why cant he hold his gun still? Hell, even the ODSTs/Marines can rapid fire the pistol and hitting targets miles away perfectly. And the Elites with human weapons in firefight....they never miss a shot with the DMR or any other projectile weapon.
Why a feature only affects the player, and not the actual A.I.? To piss you off? Yeah, great idea and implemented in such an awesome way, and so greatly balanced. Yeah, yeah, I know, it was only made so the A.I. (Marines) are not entirely pointless. BUT, why is the game giving you this specific feeling that your spartan totally sucks cauz he cant handle a gun, but that no-name soldier over there can? I simply dont like Bloom. That's why Halo 1,2 and 3 is just better. Cauz it gives you the feeling of, like Halo 1 would say, "combat evolved".

Not to mention that you have to "wait" for that damn crosshair until it becomes normal again cauz Noble 6 is drunk or high, or anything like that (I mean, wtf, his arms/hands are not even moving, so why the reticule does? Magic?) and this becomes annoying in multiplayer. Especially when you encounter the so called spammers and knewbies.
Reach doesn't make sense in multiplayer/design in general. There is no way to defend it. Blooming is poorly implemented and even 343i "confirms" that by patching the game. The only playable gametype is casual crap like Living Dead (Nr. 1 playlist in Halo Reach for some CASUAL reason...) or Big Team battle styled playlists cauz here all the annoying AAs and Blooming etc. are tolerable (but still bad).

Yes, it "carters" to my low k/d.

It's elitist scum like you who ruin gaming.

Not everyone plays for k/d. It's called "enjoyment". You should try it.

Basically CE redone for the third time. Not that I'm bagging at CE, but seriously, this isn't CoD we're talking about.

A.I. are nothing but (terrible) aim bots anyway. You're comparing humans to programs. If that's what you want, then go for it.
